 Modes available in the S-AF mode

mode 1

halfway locks focus and exposure value. Pressing it all the
way releases the shutter to take the picture.

mode 2
Shutter button function: Pressing the shutter button
halfway locks focus and exposure value. Pressing it all the
way releases the shutter to take the picture.
AEL button function: The exposure value is locked when
the AEL button is pressed (AE memory). When AEL is
pressed again, AE memory is canceled.
• The exposure value stored in AE memory has priority over

the exposure value locked when the shutter button is
pressed halfway.

This allows you to combine the 

(AE lock) button function with the functions

performed when pressing the shutter button halfway (focus lock and AE lock)
depending on your preference.

Examples:
● After locking focus, you lock exposure value to take a picture.
● After locking exposure value, you lock focus to take a picture.
● After locking exposure value and focus, you take a picture whenever the opportunity

arises.
